• How to create custom learning environments for academic, artistic and practical skill development. Utilizing Hands-on Learning Materials

Utilizing Hands-on Learning Materials

• These hands-on learning materials offer opportunities to see and touch basic math concepts, which are often taught on paper only. Using these materials, children of all ages can develop a deep conceptual understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, percentages, geometry, square roots, the times-tables, basic algebra and more.

• Explore materials that effortlessly help children learn abstract concepts. For participants, this is often an opportunity to heal their own aversion and fear of mathematics. Holding Space for Learning

Holding Space for Learning

• When the role of the adult in relation to the child is clear, a loving relationship is fostered naturally.

• Being a learning companion, a 'muse', a guide, an observer, a supporter: Holding intentional space for free play and self-directed learning.

• Being a teacher, and small-group facilitator: Introduction to 'non-invasive teaching' methods, and ways of giving guided lessons.

SUNDAY May 16, 10am- 1pm and 2-5pm

Fulfilling Genuine basic Needs

• When basic needs are fulfilled, children are happier, healthier and learn with ease. • Introduction to children's basic genuine needs on the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual level.

• Exploring how to fulfill those needs in specific situations (based on participant's needs) while remaining connected to one's personal needs Freedom Within Structure

Freedom Within Structure

• Inspired Self-Directed Learning is only successful in a friendly environment where appropriate boundaries are stated clearly and patiently.

• Being a protector: Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, and re-directing children's behavior

• Accompanying conflicts between children

• Alternatives to 'punishment and reward' methods Universal Stages of Development

Universal Stages of Development

• When educators understand the stages of development, communication becomes more successful and trust between adults and children is maintained.
